Suspect Curtis Sanders wanted in two counties arrested in Dixon

A Fairfield man wanted in connection to felony arrest warrants in Solano and another county was arrested by Dixon police Monday following a short pursuit, authorities reported.

Curtis Sanders, 33, was taken into custody shortly after 5:30 p.m. after officers responded to the 1200 block of Stratford Avenue, according to the Dixon Police Department.

Authorities said Sanders had a felony burglary warrant for his arrest out of Solano County, and a second felony warrant for drug possession and reckless evading in Marin County.

The first officer arriving at the scene ordered Sanders to stop, police said. Sanders allegedly ignored the officer's commands and quickly sped out of the parking lot of a local business.

Siren blaring and lights flashing, the officer followed Sanders, who fled a short distance before attempting to make a left turn from southbound North Lincoln Street to eastbound West H Street, police said. Sanders lost control of the vehicle, which was also carrying an unidentified female passenger and child.

The vehicle spun out and hit the curb before coming to a stop on a lawn in the Northwest Park area. He immediately jumped out of the car and led officers on a short foot chase to a nearby residence, where he tried to hide.

Sanders was taken into custody moments later without incident, police said.

Authorities said Sanders' two passengers left the scene while officers were dealing with Sanders, and they were unable to locate them later.

During a search of the vehicle, officers said they found a large amount of suspected methamphetamine and a loaded gun.

Sanders was booked into Solano County Jail on suspicion of being a felon in possession of a firearm, carrying a concealed firearm, possession of a loaded firearm, possession of a controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance for sale, possession of a firearm while in possession of a controlled substance, transportation of a controlled substance, possession of narcotics paraphernalia, child endangerment, hit and run, evading, reckless driving and resisting arrest, police said.

He was also booked on the outstanding warrants from Solano and Marin counties, authorities said.
